With the rolling start being at around 70km/h, there’s no issue with tyres screeching off the line.

We’d have done standing starts, though…

First, the two McLarens go head to head, and it shouldn’t be a huge surprise that the 720S does in fact dispatch its sibling, but not as easily as you might think. Thanks to a slow gear change (the 720S hits the limiter in 2nd gear), the 675LT keeps up pretty well.

Once at around 240km/h across the line, both cars back off, but the 720S has made it clear who the winner is.

Plus, getting the air-brake action on camera is kind of cool.

Next, the Prancing Horse steps up to try and take down the 720S. Again, the 720S walks away and leaves several car lengths between them when it crosses the line.

It would seem the 7.9s 0-200km/h claimed for the F12tdf is hard to nail.
